I don't get it. Are you citing that as an example of how AT&T is worse than Comcast? Because it isn't -- I've had send complaints to regulators to get Comcast to do shit too.

What's my upload? I'd rather not upload one goddamned thing. How does my upload matter? I don't give a shit.

Upload speed matters in the sense that the Internet was supposed to be a democratized peer-to-peer infrastructure that would enable global dialogue, while you're apparently content for it to be "just another entertainment service" dominated by oligarchic commercial interests.

Do you report the results to F-Droid, and/or upload your "clean" version of the program? It'd be nice if you did, and I get the impression that the F-Droid repository maintainers care about stuff like that (so they'd welcome your contribution).

This is obviously a story about Icelandic whaling.

What's wrong with Icelandic whaling?

(Also, I don't know how to spell ;) )

The truth is that programming isn't a passion or a talent, says Edge, it is just a bunch of skills that can be learned.

Lost me here. Programming can definitely be a passion, and it can also be a talent. One might have a natural aptitude at programming. That doesn't mean one cannot learn the skill of programming, or that someone who finds it difficult in the beginning will not become an expert.

In my career I've noticed that there are developers who are brilliant, and developers who struggle. The ones who struggle can succeed through mentoring and training.

There are also developers who are kind and have great social skills, as well as those who do not. This is true of any employee at a company, including managers. Social skills can also be a passion, a talent, and a skill. That is also something that can be improved through mentoring and training.

The primary reasons we don't see this happen for social skills are office politics and the false view that personalities and behaviors are fixed.

If you are reading this and your programming skills or social skills are lacking - invest in yourself and work on them. It will pay off handsomely.

They calls them like they sees them. They're whale biologists.

(And the fifth reason whales kill is for the sheer fun of it. )

Oh god, it's rare to see such bad English here. Maybe they got my ex's brother to write that page ;) And can they not tell the difference between their accent and apostrophe keys? Also, what stupid stereotyping-about-Iceland-to-market-to-foreigners is this? Just letting people know: almost everyone here thinks this is an absurd product.

Ah, the good old days of the web as it was in 1995? (*boggle*)

Have you set your browser to identify as a desktop browser?

since 2001, which was at least 14 years ago.

I hate it when people show off their mad math skills.

Things like "cold fusion" and this could actually be useful if not managed by irresponsible teams seeking to make headlines for themselves. It can be important to learn when there's things that can throw your measurements off that weren't immediately apparent. You don't need headlines to get the necessary followup; researchers in the field read the peer-reviewed literature and most definitely will take interest in such unexpected results.

While some are claiming this means

I don't know who the "some" are in that sentence, but no one at the link provided in the story is saying this means NASA created a warp drive.

Stop, already.
